<h2 id="_config_files_and_augmenting_with_user_data">CONFIG FILES AND AUGMENTING WITH USER DATA</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tesseract config files consist of lines with variable-value pairs (space
separated).  The variables are documented as flags in the source code like
the following one in tesseractclass.h:</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>STRING_VAR_H(tessedit_char_blacklist, "",
             "Blacklist of chars not to recognize");</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>These variables may enable or disable various features of the engine, and
may cause it to load (or not load) various data.  For instance, let&#8217;s suppose
you want to OCR in English, but suppress the normal dictionary and load an
alternative word list and an alternative list of patterns&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;these two files
are the most commonly used extra data files.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If your language pack is in /path/to/eng.traineddata  and the hocr config
is in /path/to/configs/hocr then create three new files:</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>/path/to/eng.user-words:</p></div>
<div class="verseblock">
<pre class="content">the
quick
brown
fox
jumped</pre>
<div class="attribution">
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>/path/to/eng.user-patterns:</p></div>
<div class="verseblock">
<pre class="content">1-\d\d\d-GOOG-411
www.\n\\\*.com</pre>
<div class="attribution">
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>/path/to/configs/bazaar:</p></div>
<div class="verseblock">
<pre class="content">load_system_dawg     F
load_freq_dawg       F
user_words_suffix    user-words
user_patterns_suffix user-patterns</pre>
<div class="attribution">
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Now, if you pass the word <em>bazaar</em> as a trailing command line parameter
to Tesseract, Tesseract will not bother loading the system dictionary nor
the dictionary of frequent words and will load and use the eng.user-words
and eng.user-patterns files you provided.  The former is a simple word list,
one per line.  The format of the latter is documented in dict/trie.h
on read_pattern_list().</p></div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_history">HISTORY</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The engine was developed at Hewlett Packard Laboratories Bristol and at
Hewlett Packard Co, Greeley Colorado between 1985 and 1994, with some more
changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some C++izing in 1998. A
lot of the code was written in C, and then some more was written in C++.
The C\++ code makes heavy use of a list system using macros. This predates
stl, was portable before stl, and is more efficient than stl lists, but has
the big negative that if you do get a segmentation violation, it is hard to
debug.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Version 2.00 brought Unicode (UTF-8) support, six languages, and the ability
to train Tesseract.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tesseract was included in UNLV&#8217;s Fourth Annual Test of OCR Accuracy.
See <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/docs/blob/master/AT-1995.pdf">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/docs/blob/master/AT-1995.pdf</a>. With Tesseract 2.00,
scripts are now included to allow anyone to reproduce some of these tests.
See <a href="https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TestingTesseract">https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TestingTesseract</a> for more
details.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tesseract 3.00 adds a number of new languages, including Chinese, Japanese,
and Korean. It also introduces a new, single-file based system of managing
language data.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tesseract 3.02 adds BiDirectional text support, the ability to recognize
multiple languages in a single image, and improved layout analysis.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For further details, see the file ReleaseNotes included with the distribution.</p></div>
